    Kind of sad that Trump wearing a mask is headline news at this point. I applaud him for finally doing it and setting a good example (and actually taking a step to protect the health of others). Not that he deserves major praise after all of these months of ineptitude, fighting protective measures including masks, and trying to make mask-wearing a political issue, but at least he is finally doing the right thing. I expect his sagging polls have something to do with it.

    Trump wears a mask during visit to wounded service members at Walter Reed

    (CNN)President Donald Trump paid a visit to wounded service members at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Saturday and wore a mask, after months of refusing to be seen doing so in public.

    "I'll probably have a mask if you must know. I'll probably have a mask. I think when you're in a hospital especially in that particular setting, where you are talking to a lot of soldiers, people that in some cases just got off the operating table. I think it's a great thing to wear a mask. I've never been against masks but I do believe they have a time and a place," Trump told reporters ahead of his visit.

    The President's decision to wear a mask during his trip to the medical center in Bethesda, Maryland, comes after months of declining to publicly wear one -- against the recommendations of his own administration's public health experts.​

    The toddler who sits on the porcelain Oval Throne in the WH finally does something right so are his fans going to demand that we nominate the guy for a Nobel Peace prize in medicine.

    That would be the same principle as if we gave Hitler a Nobel Peace prize for stopping the genocide of Jews because he ran out of Zyklon -B gas.
